Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums

This is the forum to discuss all of those video games you love playing or that are coming out. From Transformers video games to Fighting games to Sports games ... whatever makes you a happy Seibertronian. Just keep it the topics and conversations game and console related.

Its needless to say that, nowadays, your video game needs to have an amazing soundtrack to go along with it. Some soundtracks are so memorable and so well thought out, that they leave long lasting impressions.

Among my personal favorites are Dragon Roost Island and any song from zelda to be honest, Metal Gear Saga, and of course the Skyrim Theme, but there are many others (Like all the other MG songs, Saga's just my favorite) and from much older games that I enjoy a great deal, like Donkey Kong Country 2's Bramble Blast.

When all is said and done though, I cant pick an ideal favorite from any game. What is your favorite (Or list of favorites) song or songs, and from what games, and why?

I gotta say, the original S.S. Anne theme from Pokemon Red/Blue/Green still remains one of my all-time favorites. In terms of more modern games, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword had an absolutely phenomenal soundtrack. The full orchestra, the the throwbacks to earlier titles before it, and the hidden Zelda's Lullaby just made it for me.

Well, its also about how the song makes you feel while playing the game. Metal Gear's soundtrack, it just makes EVERYTHING in game feel epic, and real. Like the part were you and eva are on the motorcyle fighting off all those troops AND the Shagohod. The music made that part.

Try to keep it spoiler free.

I love the Song of Storms and the ocean theme from windwaker. I also love the music from some Japanese rpg that was release around April. I believe the game is called Xenoblade: Chronicles, that game has a GODLY soundtrack.

While I dont particularly like hip hop all that much, I will say that it compliments certain things better than rock or other music would. I cant picture playing Zelda to hip hop, but GTA, it works. I still tend to keep it to rock stations though.

I dont play Final Fantasy. It's not that I wouldnt like it, more that I cant catch up to it at this point. It didnt pull me in when I was younger like it did alot of other kids. I had a couple games on the PS1. The first disc of Metal Gear Solid was one of them, and I liked that one the most, even if all I really got to was Vulcan Raven, and I didnt know how to aim the grenades in the right spot

Picked it up later on PSN, beat it in no time flat. I bought it out of nostalgia, and became addicted to the series. While I dont have it anymore, I still remember being floored at how impacting the music could be at times.

You don't need to play catch up like you would Metal Gear, since each game is self-contained, there's no proper starting point or ending point. You can really just start with whatever game people suggest at you the most, which is probably going to be 6 or 7.

It just wouldnt feel right. Besides, even if they dont happen in order, you would probably have to play the others to understand certain parts, right? And even if you dont, I still want to play it from start to finish if im going to play it at all anyway, so its a no go for me. There are cases were I wont play games in order from the first one on, and final fantasy should probably be one of them, seeing as to how popular it is, but I dont want to dive into a franchise without really knowing anything about it. Last time I did that was Skyrim. Not a bad thing, but there are still parts I'm completely confused about.

Nope! When I say self-contained, I mean self-contained. Unlike Elder Scrolls, the lore and fundamental rules of the universe are reset with each new game. Any references to past games are little more than in-jokes and running gags, and your experience won't be diminished for it.

My favorite music from a game at the moment is the score of Transformers Fall of Cybertron, too bad that High Moon Studios don't have plans yet to make a CD or Digital release of this epic soundtrack...
